Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 1440
Chapter 1440 Dark World
The sarcophagus had countless lines carved on it. It was extremely mysterious, and no one even recognized it.
However, Ye Feng was different. These patterns were very similar to the patterns on the Nine Prisons Demon Cauldron. Some of the patterns were even identical.
This reminded Ye Feng of something. This made Ye Feng’s brows furrow deeper and deeper. He watched as more than a dozen people inserted their weapons into the cracks of the sarcophagus.
Those cracks were the starting point of the patterns. After the weapons were inserted, the patterns changed, as if they were alive. Countless earthworms walked upstream of the coffin.
“Don’t open it!”
Ye Feng suddenly let out a shrill shout and interrupted everyone. Unfortunately, it was already too late. When they wanted to pull out their weapons, the sarcophagus itself let out a cracking sound. The patterns gradually evolved and finally appeared like the patterns on the surrounding stone walls. They were extremely ferocious and terrifying.
More than a dozen people retreated one after another. They watched as the sarcophagus slowly changed. The lid on the sarcophagus slowly sank, revealing a huge pitch-black hole. Endless devil energy seeped out from within.
Looking at the pitch-black entrance of the cave, fear appeared on everyone’s faces, as if they saw that death was imminent. Especially when Ye Feng shouted loudly just now, many people’s hearts were overshadowed by a layer of shadow.
Tian Lefeng no longer had any ideas. Looking at the devil energy coming out of the sarcophagus, even the peerless geniuses of the Heavenly Clan were somewhat bewildered. The expression on their faces was not so natural.
The others did the same. They didn’t dare to step forward. More and more demonic energy began to spread out. Once this place was filled with demonic energy, all of them would be assimilated.
Things were far from as simple as they had imagined. Just as everyone was thinking about how to resist the demonic energy, the situation suddenly changed again. A powerful suction force came from the sarcophagus.
The suction force was countless times stronger than the suction force of the long worm that Ye Feng encountered, and it was not at the same level at all.
“Hu!”
The nearest disciple of the Heavenly Clan couldn’t react at all and was sucked in and disappeared into the sarcophagus.
“Ah!”
Then, a miserable scream came from the depths of the sarcophagus. It was estimated that he was dead.
This caused everyone’s expressions to change drastically. How could things be like this? Originally, they thought that the sarcophagus was the way out, but who knew that it had opened the door to hell?
“What should we do? What should we do? Are we all going to die?”
At this moment, everyone finally realized that death was imminent. Their bodies were slowly uncontrollably dragged towards the sarcophagus by the powerful suction force.
Even Tian Lefeng was unable to resist the suction force coming from the sarcophagus. His face turned ashen. He took out his weapon and stabbed it into the ground to prevent himself from approaching the sarcophagus.
Ye Feng’s body could not withstand the suction force from the sarcophagus. His legs tightly grabbed onto the ground. Unfortunately, the strong suction force was like a giant hand pulling them. His face was already twisted, and the clothes on his body emitted a hunting sound.
“No!”
Another person’s body went out of control and disappeared into the sarcophagus. Then, he let out a miserable scream and disappeared.
This made the rest of them tremble in fear. Facing death, no one could be calm. Even Ye Feng was no exception. His expression was very serious.
“Save me, save me …”
Another person grabbed onto the edge of the sarcophagus with both hands. His legs had already been pulled in, leaving only his head outside, praying for help.
Unfortunately, whoever dared to step forward was unable to protect himself, so how could he care about others? In just a breath’s time, this man was completely devoured by the sarcophagus and disappeared.
One after another, in the blink of an eye, there were only less than ten people left. They were also struggling painfully. Not long later, they would be completely absorbed by the sarcophagus.
“Ye Feng, do you have any way to leave this place?”
As Tian Lefeng spoke, his body began to be unable to withstand it. Step by step, he approached the sarcophagus. In another five to six steps, he would be devoured by the sarcophagus.
As for the others, they had already tightly grabbed onto the sarcophagus, and if they were careless, they would be sucked in, and that would mean that they would never be able to recover.
“There’s nothing I can do. I told you before, you guys will regret it.”
There was no sorrow or joy in Ye Feng’s eyes. The matter had already come to this point. It was useless to complain. There was indeed no way to do it now. Unless the sarcophagus could be closed, there would be a chance to dodge the calamity.
Unfortunately, the sarcophagus’s suction force was getting stronger and stronger, gradually expanding. Just as the two of them were talking, the two of them were sucked in again. Only Tian Le Peak was left with the people from the Tian Clan who had entered the sarcophagus.
Fu Liang was struggling to support himself. His face was already twisted and his legs were out of control. He slowly entered the sarcophagus.
“I’m not willing!”
Following that was a miserable scream. The peerless genius of the Sun Slaying Sect was completely absorbed by the sarcophagus, leaving nothing behind.
Ye Feng’s body was gradually straightened, his hands tightly gripping the sarcophagus, even his fingers popped out and inserted into the sarcophagus, but he still couldn’t stop the suction force.
Tian Lefeng was no better. He held the edge of the sarcophagus with both of his hands and stuck close to Ye Feng. There was not much worry on his face. This made Ye Feng very suspicious. Could it be that Tian Lefeng knew how to get out of the sarcophagus?
Seeing the people around him disappear one after another, there were only Ye Feng and Tian Lefeng left around the sarcophagus. It was estimated that the two of them would not be able to last long and would be dragged into the endless black abyss.
“Brother Ye, I’m leaving first. I hope that I’ll have a chance to compete with you in the next life.”
Tian Lefeng suddenly took out a golden talisman from his bosom, and a powerful golden light shot out. Then, a large hand appeared, tearing open space and carrying Tian Lefeng away.
A huge crack appeared on the surrounding wall. With the appearance of the big hand, Tianle Peak disappeared. Someone used a big method to tear apart the Laws here and bring them out.
“Immortal methods?”
Ye Feng revealed a deep expression of contemplation. The Tian Clan was indeed extraordinary. This was the power of an immortal. It was probably to protect Tian Le Peak from being killed. Who knew that it would be used here?
It wasn’t surprising that the Tian Clan had an immortal. Ye Feng could only bitterly smile. He didn’t want to compete with the Tian Le Peak and experience what the ancient clans that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years were capable of.
Unfortunately, there was no chance. Tianle Peak had disappeared, leaving only him struggling to hold on. As for the others, they had long since disappeared.
Feeling the suction force coming from behind him getting stronger and stronger, Ye Feng released his hands. He did not have the life-saving talisman left behind by the immortal, he could only look at his body and slowly sink into the endless darkness. Suddenly, he discovered that the Nine Prisons Demon Cauldron emitted a faint halo that protected him.
The moment Ye Feng disappeared, the sarcophagus closed again. Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. The sarcophagus sank into the ground bit by bit.
On the ground, a golden light rose. Tian Le Peak emerged from the underground world. At this moment, there were quite a few people surrounding the ancient tomb. They heard that there were Earth Fiend Black Lightning Ferrets below. Those people did not dare to go down.
“Brother Tian, where are the others?”
Seeing that Tian Lefeng was the only one who came out, someone from the Liu Clan also came and asked Tian Lefeng.
“They’re all dead!”
Tian Lefeng smiled bitterly and didn’t conceal anything. Everyone died.
The enormous pillar of light had also completely disappeared, and the underground world had completely healed. Apart from a recess, no one knew that there had been hundreds of geniuses buried here.
“Impossible, Junior Brother Ye won’t die!”
Suddenly, a cold shout came from the crowd, rushing straight to the pit, looking at the submerged underground world and letting out a roar.
It was precisely Hu Yuan. If it wasn’t for Ye Feng, he wouldn’t have comprehended his charm. Ye Feng was grateful to him for remaking, and he was also a senior brother. Last time, he used twenty jade tokens in exchange for their lives.
They had no way to repay this kindness. After learning that Ye Feng had also entered the underground world, only Tian Le Feng had come up alive. It was somewhat difficult for them to accept this kindness and they let out bursts of furious roars.
“My condolences!”
Someone patted Hu Yuan on the shoulder. A person could not be revived after death. Moreover, this time, there were heavy casualties. There were people from all the sects who died inside.
Apart from the dozens of people who had escaped, more than a hundred people had been killed and wounded.
The reason why Tian Le Peak was able to escape was not strange to everyone. The four great ancient clans definitely had means to save their lives, and they would definitely use them at the critical moment.
Apart from Hu Yuan, most of them showed expressions of schadenfreude. Ye Feng was the enemy of all people. Now that he was dead, many people revealed expressions of great joy.
Although many resources were buried underground, as long as Ye Feng died, everything would be worth it.
“I don’t believe that Junior Brother Ye won’t die so easily. How many times has he been able to walk out safely? This time, he’s no exception.”
Hu Yuan took a deep breath. He believed that Ye Feng would definitely be fine.
Soullaw Realm’s mission had to continue, constantly searching for Dragon Qi. The ancient tomb had been closed, so everyone had to separate. Especially those geniuses who were left alone, they had to leave early to avoid being ambushed.
In the later stages, the plundering of dragon qi became more and more intense, and even reached the white-hot stage. Some of their fellow disciples and friends began to form teams, forming a small alliance to plunder those lone martial artists.
Of the 1,000 people who had entered, more than 200 had been lost, leaving 800 people struggling to support themselves. Ye Feng’s name was also quickly forgotten.
This was the real world. Dead geniuses would never be known. Perhaps in a few years, or a few days, the heat would decrease, and everyone would be silent again in the team that snatched the Dragon Qi.
As for Ye Feng, although he had taken away more than 200 dragon qi, there was a lot of dragon qi in Soullaw Realm. As long as you had strength, you would be able to obtain more dragon qi, increase your luck, and increase your strength.
The surroundings were pitch black. Ye Feng felt as if he had fallen into endless darkness. He could not see anything in the surroundings. It was pitch black. Even if he opened his Heavenly Adept’s Eyes, he would not be able to see clearly.
“Am I dead or not?”
Ye Feng muttered to himself and pinched himself hard, causing bursts of pain. Logically speaking, he was not dead.
But where was this?
Ye Feng’s body floated in the pitch-black space like this. It was unknown how long had passed before Ye Feng felt his body sink bit by bit.
Moreover, it was sinking faster and faster, rapidly descending, completely out of his control, as if he could fall into endless hell.
“Whoosh!”
Strong winds blew past Ye Feng’s ears, producing whistling sounds.
“Someone’s finally here!”
Suddenly, Ye Feng seemed to hear someone talking. After listening carefully, his voice disappeared again.
“Could it be an illusion?”
Ye Feng did not know, because he felt that he was about to fall to the ground.
